    How to dry flowers fast using Wisedry silica gel crystals
    Ingredients - wisedry silica gel crystals , assorted flowers, gloves , mask
    Wisedry has taken the silica gel granules and created a product much better suited to drying flowers. The sand sized granules are easy to fit around each leaf and petal, giving perfect results, no marking or damage.
    They sent us a bag to try - but we are under no obligation to say only good things. This was a first for us, and a good experience.
    The silica was easy to use, it helps if you are an organised and tidy person, but the results were great!
    We are looking forward to drying different flowers and seeing how they turn out - and of course creating some projects with the results.
    This product can be used again and again, so we would recommend it - though if you buy one bag only, you might wish you had bought two to process more flowers in one session.

    Hi John, We are very sorry that the bag is broken and will send you a new one very soon. Thank you so much for sharing this video, and glad you like the drying result!

      It was a tiny tiny gap in the inner bag - so really it is very sturdy and did well in shipment.
      I have been trying out different flowers since, so just waiting for them to be ready!
      Thank you 😊

      It was the smallest little gap in the inner bag, but it did travel a lot to get here, so I think that was unusual as the packaging is very good.
      At the moment I am trying little sunflowers - will be interesting to see how they do! Many thanks 😊

    Ps, light coat of cheap hairspray helps some with protection from humidity & falling apart 🥰. Thanks John, I dry flowers like panicle hydrangeas every fall, just air dry, the spray...beautiful fall & winter arrangements 🥰. I once air dried belles of Ireland, hairsprayed, then gave them a light spray with a fine gold glitter spray...that was 3 years ago & I still have them on display in my living room atop my rolltop desk, which receives only north light...love them! Looking forward to future use videos 🤩

      Do you apply hair spray before you air dry the flowers? Or air dry first then apply hair spray later? Thanks .

      @roxanneroehrig324 7 місяців тому

      I air dry 1st, then apply the hair spray. After this is dried, then I apply the fine gold or silver craft spray, if I choose to use it for enhancement ​@@shellachuamd1226

    Actually, freeze dried means just that...visited a business many years ago here in Michigan 🇺🇸 that had special freezers and had a great business preserving flowers like bridal bouquets. They were absolutely wonderful when done!

    Dried materials are often covered with airtight domes, as humidity can really ruin dried plant material. Also, exposure to highly lit areas can cause colors to fade.

    This is so inspiring! I'll probably never get around to trying it but it's fun watching you get so excited! I wonder how long the color lasts. I am so surprised at how great that turned out. I wonder what types of sprays could be used on them to hold them together for the long term or if anything could be used to spray on for different creative effects.

    Hi, How long can you keep dried flowers ? And how often can you reuse the Silica Gel and can you leave the gel in a plastic container after using it? thanks. I am going to try this, so thanks for all the information.

    • @FlowerJoos
      @FlowerJoos  6 місяців тому +1

      Dried flowers will last well, but it does depend on the conditions - so dry, cool, and not in full sunlight is best. But they won’t last forever - a year or two is good - after that they deteriorate. The gel is reusable again and again - just dry it out in the oven to remove the moisture ( check the instructions ) and yes, store in an airtight container between uses is best

    • @FlowerJoos

      I think most flowers are good wit( the exception of spring flowers as the moisture value is just too high. So tulips and daffodils are out, but gerbera and dahlias are possible.

      Hello! You could - though dried flowers are very fragile, so as a wedding bouquet they would be too easily damaged, but to make a bouquet in a frame would be nice 😊
